Wanderers fans have had enough of the poor performances on the field and the actions of 5 angry fans have set the scene for open rebellion between fans and the board once more.

Usually, when the RBB is in trouble the support falls into factions, these largely consisting of those who love the colour and the defiance that is part of Active support and those who would prefer that the letter of the law be followed at all times.

But there seems almost universal support for the banned RBB members this time as well as condemnation for the board and in particular Mr. Lederer.

Lederer is running Wanderers like Mike Ashley at Newcastle, he has a hold of a massive club and its support and what happens on the pitch doesn’t seem to bother him.

Newcastle United fans have been without a trophy for the best part of a century but they keep coming back for more, Western Sydney, however, isn’t a one town City anymore, the support that has been assumed will soon be fought over with our rivals from Campbelltown.

Twitter was outright depressed with the weekend on and off the pitch as the sad realisation that we are not going to win anything again this year and that our owners are not going to do anything to change it dawns upon WSW’s support.

Have a look through these threads and get the feel of both an angry and disillusioned support.

Ok,so as I thought I have had it on good authority that WSW fans will not,I repeat will not be banned from games for showing discontent with their team.xmb

If bans were issued to the @RBB_net for voicing their discontent then I'd expect @wswanderersfc to step in & the new board of the @FFA to use the opportunity to urgently review security AND the Ban Appeals Process. @RNogarotto I hope that we get an opportunity to meet asap.

Interesting to note the on-field performances of @wswanderersfc since the new ownership group took charge on 30/06/14. @ALeague squads have finished 9th, 2nd, 6th, 7th & currently sit 8th of 10 whilst the @WLeague squads have finished 8th, 7th, 8th, 8th & currently sit 9th of 9.

I thought it would never come to this but I'm completely deflated with the Wanderers. We no longer know what it means to play for the shirt or what it represents to the diehards. Hopefully a revival of atmosphere brings back fight in the players at Parra stadium @wswanderersfc

Getting a red card in a derby doesn't help struggling Wanderers tbh. https://t.co/9IMgHxbwgP

HUGE reaction from the WSW fans in disgust. Love the passion and support our fans are unleashing only wish majority of our players, staff, board and owners showed the same!!..

Stick together guys ? eventually they must listen to the fans simple.

Players should be accountable seems to be no consequences for poor performances https://t.co/mYXsWHrc4i

And our own article from yesterday:

Video of RBB members showing their frustrations. That these members have been banned is a disgrace, we are playing terrible, there is nothing wrong with bringing that up.https://t.co/AGTKgtaz28
